- Well I have just had my first strawberry of the season from my garden - my balcony one not the allotment. It was not as tasty as the ones I grew in Christchurch but maybe they will improve with the sun! And, if I curb my impatience and wait until they're fully ripe that would help too! Did you know strawberries don't ripen any further after they have been picked?
- I am on the mailing list for the Yates garden newsletter and this one has a link to the 'no-dig video'. My garden is not 'no dig' but it will be 'low-dig' as I plan on covering it with mulch such as straw or pea vines to keep the weeds down and the moisture in.
- On the other hand, here is a garden in Canada I visited that required huge digging!
Chilli, courgettes, cucumber and more runner beans in the nursery of my balcony! |
